Wedding Song dedicated to my deceased father?? Any ideas??
A Dozen Red Roses - Tammy Graham


(My father died before my sister's wedding and this song had us both absolutely bawling)








A dozen red roses


In a simple bouquet


Arrived at the church


On her wedding day





The bridesmaids gathered 'round her


The Last details done


But a dozen red roses


Who could they be from?





The moment was close now


The church filled with light


She stood like a picture


In a glow of white.


All her friends awaiting


The music softly playing


Yet, she reached for the roses


On the table where they lay.





Then from the roses


She picked up an envelope


Her hand was guided by her heart


And for every rose


A single teardrop fell


As she lifted her veil and slowly read the card:





"You're in your room sleeping


As I write these words


I know you won't read them


till years from now"





"God will call me home soon


I'll miss your wedding day,


So your mom will keep


This note to send


With a rose bouquet"





"So take one of these roses


To hold in your hand


And I will be beside you,





As Always,


Love Dad"

Reply:father and daughter by paul simon it is beautiful my dad and i danced to it at my wedding. here are the lyrics











If you leap awake


In the mirror of a bad dream


And for a fraction of a second


You can't remember where you are


Just open your window


And follow your memory upstream


To the meadow in the mountain


Where we counted every falling star





I believe the light that shines on you


Will shine on you forever


And though I can't guarantee


There's nothing scary hiding under your bed


I’m gonna stand guard


Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever


And never leave till I leave you


With a sweet dream in your head





I'm gonna watch you shine


Gonna watch you grow


Gonna paint a sign


So you'll always know


As long as one and one is two


There could never be a father


Who loved his daughter more than I love you





Trust your intuition


It's just like going fishing


You cast your line


And hope you'll get a bite


But you don't need to waste your time


Worrying about the market place


Try to help the human race


Struggling to survive its harshest night





I'm gonna watch you shine


Gonna watch you grow


Gonna paint a sign


So you'll always know


As long as one and one is two


There could never be a father


Who loved his daughter more than I love you





I'm gonna watch you shine


Gonna watch you grow


Gonna paint a sign


So you'll always know


As long as one and one is two


There could never be a father


Who loved his daughter more than I love you





btw very sorry for your loss. you can probably go to rhapsody.com/paulsimon and listen to the song for free

Reply:these are oldies but i really like them and although i cry for my Dad when i hear them they are beautiful, one is Youre a Big Girl Now by the Stylistics and Daddy's Home I am not quite sure who sings this one but it says he's not a thousand miles away , i just remember my dad when i hear them
Reply:The one song that I would dedicate to my father who is also passed away would be Because You Loved Me. By Celine Dion. :)
Reply:Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler


This was sung at my brother's funeral as well as at my wedding in his honor and everyone was crying.








BETTE MIDLER LYRICS





"Wind Beneath My Wings"





Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.


It must have been cold there in my shadow,


to never have sunlight on your face.


You were content to let me shine, that's your way.


You always walked a step behind.





So I was the one with all the glory,


while you were the one with all the strength.


A beautiful face without a name for so long.


A beautiful smile to hide the pain.





Did you ever know that you're my hero,


and everything I would like to be?


I can fly higher than an eagle,


'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.





It might have appeared to go unnoticed,


but I've got it all here in my heart.


I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.


I would be nothing without you.





Did you ever know that you're my hero?


You're everything I wish I could be.


I could fly higher than an eagle,


'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.





Did I ever tell you you're my hero?


You're everything, everything I wish I could be.


Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,


'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,


'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.





Oh, the wind beneath my wings.


You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.


Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.


Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.


Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.





Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,


so high I almost touch the sky.


Thank you, thank you,


thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Reply:"All my life" by The Beatles...it pretty much ties the past, the present, and the future...Which is what your wedding trying to do.
